If you run TC's benchmark during the container creation process you can see what kind of hit you're going to take.
Notice it or not, depending on what cipher & if you're chaining them together. there is a performance hit. My assumption is it's not drive speed but CPU so the faster the CPU(s), the less you'll notice. Combining TwoFish + AES (for example) WILL cause a performance hit.
